Re: 2012 Cincinnati Reds Thread

I was shocked when I saw that 10 year $225 million extension for Votto. The Reds clearly see Votto/Bruce as their future core going forward. They have a window, and they are taking it. The Madson injury really hurt this year though.

Re: 2012 Cincinnati Reds Thread

So can somebody give a rundown of major offseason departures/arrivals for those like me who are completely out of the loop, but would like to have some idea what the outlook is for this year? Many thanks!

Man, I LOVED watching that press conference Brandon had to announce the signing.. he loves this team, Cincy, and their fans. Truely a special quality in an athlete, he said today was the best day of his life.. so proud to have him in Cincy.

With that said, the season is very very young, but we gotta start winning more games! Votto and phillips both sat out tonight, but we can't afford to be losing games to the Cards at home.

Man, yesterday morning I was defending the Reds and their slow start... but now I'm starting to get a bit worried.. only TWO hits against the Nationals yesterday, while allowing 10.. this is not looking good at all

Meh, we are less than two weeks into the season. I don't start getting worried until June with these things. But they do need to pick it up.

Re: 2012 Cincinnati Reds Thread

Just got back from the game today. Pretty cool to see some history. Most Combined HR's ever hit at GABP with 9. Sucks that 5 were for Colorado, but it was great to see a win. First time I've seen Votto, Bruce, and Phillips ever hit homers!

Man, what a scorcher, though. My face and arms are more red than the jerseys the guys wore today!

Re: 2012 Cincinnati Reds Thread

Man last night was rough.. Couldn't buy a good pitcher.. Way too many balls thrown as well. Unfortunately I made the trip over to watch it last night, still had a lot of fun but the pitching was beyond bad. Within the first 3 innings Leake and Simon put us in a hole we just couldn't dig out of.
